MOSCOW — Alexander Remnev sits on a ledge atop an office tower downtown. He and his friends use no mountain-climbing gear, no harnesses or ropes when skywalking. They wear everyday clothes to make the point that they “are just ordinary guys like you and me and not some boring professionals.”

VLADIVOSTOK, Russia — The view from the highest point of the bridge that links the far-eastern port of Vladivostok with the island of Russky. Alexei Nazarov, 20, a computer student, hitchhiked thousands of miles last summer, a journey that took him a month and a half, to climb the new bridge. “I climbed that bridge and sat on top of it as if I had fulfilled the goal of my life,” Nazarov said. “But then I came down and boarded a plane and came back to Moscow and understood that I just climbed another bridge, and started thinking about new exploits.”
